I learned today (in the car) that tomorrow morning's commute is gonna be chilly, very chilly.....

These okes on such common bikes, really!

The sharp drop is fun, why remove it?

Any MTB cranks with removable chainrings can work. There are pro's and cons to all types and prices range from cheap to very expensive. The main thing to consider is that you will be wanting to install a SS-specific chainring, so a crankset with a 104mm BCD like most Shimanos, Truvativ, Race Face etc will work fine. There are also different BB styles for you to consider. The modern external BB is easiest to work with, but the older square taper and octalink/ISIS styles normally last longer but weigh more. The Truvativ ones in the ad will work fine.

"Normally" Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, depending on how tired I am, meetings, other appointments etc.

I ride from Paulshof to Midrand at least twice a week. Check my strava route. I leave around 6h30. My ride back is at between 4 and 4h30pm. http://app.strava.com/activities/58082561

OK, damn. Look at the price of these frames! http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FROOSSLTD29/on_one_inbred_29er_single_speed_ltd_edition

Because the cam is attached to the head, it APPEARS that his head doesn't move, but actually it does, but you don't see it because it APPEARS that everything else is moving.....very cool visual effect I think!

Yup, and Brendan's on a HT. When in Rome....

Sounding interesting.

WOW

On-one.co.uk - have a look there

Nice one! Your Spruit will never be the same. Enjoy!

How's that working out for you?

Bwahahaha

So I lost my cassette lockring tool, I thought no problem (I don't tighten my cog that tight anyways.) So I used a screwdriver to gently remove the lockring. Great. Replaced the cog with desired one. Tightened the lockring as much as possible by hand and was just "nipping" it tight with said screwdriver when it slipped and neatly ripped the tip of my thumb (almost) off. Thanks to elastoplast for keeping me together.....My wife's still pissed that I bled on the carpet on the way to the first aid box.... I know - lesson learned. Already bought a new tool. Edit: this involved a bike and an accident, that could have been avoided.

Doesn't matter, as long as you lube. I recently tried some Herschells chain wax from Builder's Warehouse (designed for motorbikes and chainsaws). R25 for a bottle the same size as White Lightning. It works really well and lasts a long time, around 250-offroad-km but gets messy after a while. It's also very thick on application, almost like hand lotion. Not a bad R25 experiment though.....

I always get lekker Stan's coral in my tyres after about 2-3 months.

Like a baus.

1. cut a skewer (you can use whatever) at exactly 67.5mm. why 67.5? it is your hub width 135mm divided by two. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w298/carl_camote/001-8.jpg 2. using your skewer, measure your front chainline. measure from the center of the seat tube to the center of the chainring. mark it. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w298/carl_camote/002-5.jpg 3. flip the skewer and measure the rear chainline. measure from where the frame and locknut touches to the center of the cog. now, the cog should be exactly where the tip of your skewer is. adjust the spacers if necessary. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w298/carl_camote/003-2.jpg

I would like to know how long a HD lasted as a rear tyre doing all-duty rides: XC, AM, commuting etc. ie. how good is it as an all-round, do-everything tyre. For when my Nobby Nics wear out....

^^^ he's right....

I wouldn't sell my On-One SS......
